Bondi Storm

THE Daily Telegraph’s Rohan Kelly has been recognised for photographic excellence after taking out a top prize in the World Press Photo Foundation awards. Kelly beat thousands of photographers from around the world to win first prize in the Nature category with his ominous photo of an iconic Australian backdrop, Storm Front On Bondi Beach. The haunting shot, taken on the sands of Sydney’s Bondi Beach, captures a cloud tsunami bearing down on a group of sunbathers.

Hugh Bowman

CHAMPION jockey Hugh Bowman was lucky to escape serious injury when Californian Man made a sharp left turn down the straight at Canterbury on Wednesday.

Bowman crashed to the turf inside the final 200m of the Cellarbrations Plate when the heavily backed Californian Man, which was setting our after the leader, ducked out abruptly.

Black Caviar

IF this was the last time Sydney race fans see Black Caviar, the mare has left a memory to last a lifetime.

More than 23,000 packed Randwick, thousands lined the fence outside the course, and millions nationwide watched the race on television. Black Caviar gave a virtuoso performance.

The champion, who has captured the hearts of a nation, also breaks the hearts of her racetrack rivals.

Black Caviar maintained her unbeaten record with her 25th win in the Group 1 $1 million TJ Smith Stakes (1200m). It was arguably her best performance.

Rival riders weren't about to make it easy for her, but Black Caviar showed why she was now regarded as one of the greatest racehorses of all time. Trainer Peter Moody might have seemed outwardly cool, but his chain-smoking gave away his nervousness.

About

Rohan Kelly grew up on a farm in Western Australia and, after a stint at university, returned to work on the family property. Picking up a camera for a holiday to Africa, he was hooked. He then moved to Perth to study photography, and got his first full-time job in 1998 at the Northern Territory News in Darwin.

His first taste of international attention was in 1999 when East Timorese was evacuated to Darwin Airport during the election crisis. He also covered the 2000 Sydney Olympics as part of the News Limited national team of photographers and was a finalist in the Walkley Awards with his sports pictures.

In 2001, he moved to Sydney to work at The Daily Telegraph and has since worked across all sections of the paper including time on the picture desk at the Daily and Sunday Telegraphs.
